Yankees Fan Throws Back Home Run Ball, Drills Brett Gardner in the Head (Videos)

Baseball has a lot of time-honored traditions. However, there’s at least one that Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner could probably do without.

During the fourth inning of the Yankees game against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Toronto slugger Jose Bautista cracked a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning to make it 2-0. Then, in accordance with tradition, the Yankees fan who caught that home run threw it back onto the field.

Unfortunately, that fan does not have Greg Maddux-like accuracy. So instead of the ball harmlessly hitting the ground, it drills Brett Gardner right in the back of the head.
